Three Bean Salad

This salad is so healthy and flavorful and also very easy to make! Makes a delicious and colorful side for summer bbq’s. Or eat it alone for lunch, the protein from the beans makes it very filling.

Use organic beans and make sure the cans are BPA free. You can usually tell a can is BPA free if the inside is orangey in color versus the typical tin can color. Also get organic vegetables, or at the very least the bell peppers because they’re part of the ‘dirty dozen’ produce list!
